CALL for ENTRIES: 2019 Miami Art Basel Edition

Learn more about the 2019 Miami Art Basel Edition from Create! Magazine.

fair FARE

When’s the last time you ate a candied apple?  I haven’t had one in a while either.  Every year I am tempted at the Tennessee Valley Fair to at least have a caramel apple, but I chicken out every time.  I mean, I’m not afraid of the sugar-draped fruit, but it seem like a commitment.  It’s not like I can eat it with a knife and fork in deliberate portions; you have to sink into it teeth first, knowing you may end up wearing it face, fingers, clothing and all.  I’m not ready.

This next call is a worthy pursuit on its own, but it is also a measured solution to the art fair.  When’s the last time you contemplated participating in an art fair like Art Basel?  One option is to venture out on your own, which can be very expensive & risky if you aren’t in the right place for that opportunity.  Another possibility is going as a part of a group or gallery, which still involves costly production like framing and shipping with no guarantee of sales.  If you’re not ready for either of those options, this call from Create! Magazine gives you an opportunity to reach the Miami art week audience without the commitment to a booth.  Their curatorial history proves you’ll be in excellent company.  Think about it.

Check out this Call for Entries from Create! Magazine (print publication) for the Miami Art Basel Edition.  The 3rd Annual Art Miami Edition will be released during 2019 Miami Art Week in December, available in international shop locations & during VIP preview night at Art Miami Fairs.  Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Table Testaments

Learn more about the Table Testaments exhibits from the Arts Benicia Gallery!

SOUPER bowls

I plead guilty to taking my eating utensils and dishes for granted.  Because of my love for the art of plating food, I’ve always owned solid white functional dishware.  My mother is a “collector” of flatware and hasn’t allowed me to pick my own, EVER.  It is bestowed upon me on occasion without request or explanation.  We all have our burdens, ha.  

Now I am married to a commercial production potter (120+ pots a day & NOT pictured here), and suddenly the world of dishware is my oyster.  Did you know you need differently sized and shaped bowls for salad, cereal & pasta? As I said, we all have our burdens, ha.  I love eating out of the bowls my husband has thrown.  Every once in a while he comes home with a “one off” just for me because he thought it looked like it was “meant for me”.  *swoon*  I’ve been trying to convince him to enter this show because I love this venue.  It isn’t restricted to a literal interpretation, so be sure to investigate this opportunity.

TOFU no, VEGGIES though

Testimonials and recommendations are great, but my taste buds choose for themselves.  As a welcomed side-result of writing these posts, I receive a significant amount of unsolicitied recommendations for brands of food that are meant to change my mind about tofu, kale & collard greens.  And, I diligently try most to of the suggests, just in case.  On occasion I muse to myself, “that wasn’t half bad”, (never about tofu though), but the important thing for me is to not get stuck in a rut or trust a single encounter as the definitive one.  Did you know that I avoided asparagus for 20 years because of my experiences with the canned variety as a child.  I missed 20 years of green tree goodness.  Never again.  So, send me your food suggestions, and I’ll send you my art experience suggestions.  Here’s one now. 

Yesterday, I offered a Call that chose random winners for supplies in a specific media, but today I offer a Call with a juried winner of cash open to wide array of media.  More accurately, this is a purchase award of sorts.  You do not have to submit the work that will be exchanged for the $1000 –that can be negotiated later.  They even pay shipping costs to get the work to them. I’ve been touting this opportunity for years, so there is a long, RESEARCHABLE history of winners.  Draw your own conclusions about their taste, but it is worthy of consideration.

Check out this Call to Artists from WorkingArtist.org for the $1000 Artist Grant. $25 entry & an email. It doesn’t get any easier. Don’t miss this one…

COLD complication

The school year returns soon.  Many of you know I have a kid in college, so his impending exit will mark a change in my house like so many of you with students.  My grocery bill will shrink, and his eating habits will change.  At home, my son eats whatever is put in front of him.  At school, he can choose to fuel himself on pizza and coffee 6 out of 7 days.  I choose to believe not, but a quick glance at the bucks he spends on ‘bucks reveals the ugly truth… his degree will be sugar & caffeine-fueled.

What gets you through a work day?  Do you have a routine or a vice?  Is there a difference, or is the label just a way to guilt yourself into less-frequent indulgence?  After a hard day in the studio recently, I picked up my keys and headed out, making a quick pitstop in my husband’s studio to let him know I was going.  “I’m headed to the liquor store.  Want anything?” I asked.  “Day that good, huh?”  *blink blink blink* “How about I work on dinner while you’re gone?”  Smart man.  This next Call is for those of you whose memory of late night projects & exam cramming are still directly behind you.

CALL for ENTRIES: Summer 2019 Print Issue

COLD complication

For years, popcorn was the ultimate summer food.  Popcorn with a hint of olive oil, parmesan and cracked black pepper was my idea of the perfect snack food. Then, there was some weird shift for me.  Stovetop popped was too greasy.  Microwave-popped was always singed.  Air-popped was always tough.  I just quit eating it — for nearly two years.  I missed my daily snack favorite, but was resigned to the absence of popcorn. 

Then one day Facebook started feeding me ads for an Amazon listing a silicone popcorn popper (not a sponsored ad) for the microwave.  I’m guessing I did something online that Google’s algorithm decided meant I needed popcorn, and, well, it was right.  That $10 product arrived, and it was ridiculous, a floppy, ridiculous concept.  It came without instructions.  I searched and found an equally ridiculous video. Holy popcorn!  It is soft like stove-topped but without that queasy overly greasy aftertaste.  So what’s the lesson?  No lesson, except maybe… all hail Summer.

CALL for ENTRIES: Saturated

Learn more about the Saturated An Eye for Color exhibit from the Barrett Art Center! oh, KALE no!

Somebody help me love kale.  I want to love love kale (in some other manner than deep fried kale chips, ha)., but I just don’t.  If I’m gonna eat a leafy green, I’m gonna choose spinach every time.  Give me arugula or chard.  Meanwhile, organic kale was 99¢ a pound this week.  It is a gorgeous color though.  I’ve been toying with making my own watercolors.  Maybe THAT is how I learn to love kale.

For years I worked in black and white, and I loved the big, bold graphic nature of that work.  But, color.  Color has turned my work around.  I fell so in love with color that I changed media after TWENTY years.  Like any grade schooler, I get that yellow + blue = green.  But, when you find the right gambogue hue & add just a touch of thalo blue, you get to watch them bloom into a gorgeous shade of peacock.  This newly found watercolor magic gives power & voice to what I tried to represent literally with typography and b&w symbolism for all those years.

I’ve tried to be more transparent over the past weeks about my own “which” & “why” & “what” questions because I am hoping my answers will help you formulate your own questions and discover your own answers.  The Barrett Arts Center is a “yes” for me.  Beautiful venue, great jurors, superb curatorial history, excellent resume builder.  I have been working on a piece for months that would be the perfect piece to enter.  If I can just keep myself on track to finish, I am entering this one.  Do you have color you want to strut out like a proud peacock?  Then THIS is a great call.

COLD complication

As winter approaches, I am more & more distracted.  I buy a handful of pantry items for single recipes.  For example, I use canned cream-style corn in one indulgent corn pudding recipe and buttermilk only in cornbread.  But, the problem arises because they look like similar items in the cupboard –anything canned or my regular milk.  You only have to put buttermilk on one bowl of cereal to not want to make that mistake again.  My solution? Organization. A simple letter or two scrawled on the container top has stopped me from wasting time and food over and over again. 

In the studio, I am always walking the line between organized and over-planned.  My instincts run toward scheduling, pre-planning, color-coding and efficiency.  But, I also know that when I over plan, I have guilt when I stray from my original design that sometime keeps me on a path (that often isn’t really working) longer than I should.  But if I don’t schedule at all, I end up procrastinating, the stereotypical downfall of beret-wearing artists in movies everywhere.  This next Call is a perfect example.  I love this publication.  It is gorgeous.  The art is phenomenal. Even their Insta feed is fun and inspiring.  I keep thinking that the right work to submit will speak to me.  As a result, here we are a year or two later, I’ve managed not to enter yet.  So, let’s make a plan, be organized; enter early…

GREEN walls

While on vacation recently, I was having dinner in a restaurant only to see the chef come out and clip herbs off a wall planter in the dining room.  I have a friend that has installed a decorative green wall in their livingroom.  And I know several others that are making vertical gardening plans.  It seems planting vertical not only makes the best use of space, but it is more physically accessible for lots of people for whom bending and stooping are not an option.  Walls of food, how lovely.  This next Call is looking for your work surrounding the idea of walls.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Open to all 2D & 3D media (no video)

THEME:  Walls have delineated nations & cities throughout human history. Walls define what is inside as separate from what is outside, and while this definition . . . invariably includes a defining of identity. Whatever the motivation, walls identify what is within them and what is outside them, placing limits on both. We are now in an era of new walls – walls built on the borders of nations, ideologies, cultural and personal identities. Whether attempting to break through, climb over, dig under, circumvent, use as a canvas, or decorate, artists respond to the walls that confront them.
